Unhappy funny type

this is really strange
a couple of times my computer has gone weird
so that when i type something the letters come out funny.
its like i am typeing in russian or something!

happened once when i was in chat and the other people in chat had to try and guess what i was typing!

it comes right when i restart my computer, but why does it do this?

Not sure without seeing it, but one thing that happens is that some buggy application scribbles over memory it doesn't own but which happens to contain the font data. Obviously this goes away on a reboot.
